Release Order Processing![]() |
Customers use release orders to order products from a contract. Release order processing is mutually beneficial to the customer and supplier: On the one hand, the customer receives products at the favorable terms and conditions previously agreed upon and does not have to re-negotiate every time they order a product. On the other hand, because the contract is automatically updated with the number of release orders as well as total released quantities or values, the supplier remains constantly informed about the level of sales for these products.
